Form a bucket brigade from the fire to the nearest water supply; passing the filled pails from one to another rapidly, the last throwing the water on the fire and passing the empty pails back along _another_ line to be filled again and passed on as before. FIRES FROM KEROSENE, GASOLINE, BENZINE _Prevention._--1. Do not light a fire with kerosene. 2. Do not clean gloves or clothing with gasoline or benzine in a room with a lamp or gas jet lighted. 3. Do not try to dry clothing that has been cleaned with gasoline or benzine near a hot stove or lighted gas jet. _Extinction._--Do not use water to put out a fire of kerosene, benzine, or gasoline, as that only scatters the flames. Smother with blankets, rugs, sand, ashes, salt, or anything which is at hand and can be used; remember that woolen will not catch fire as easily as cotton. COMMON POISON AND ANTIDOTES _Poisoning_--Cases of poisoning happen most often because people do not examine the bottles before taking medicines from them. _Prevention_--Disinfectants, liniments and medicines in bottles and boxes should be correctly and plainly labelled. Bottles containing a poisonous substance should be rough outside, or with notched corks or marked with something beside the label stating that their contents are poison. _Treatment_--1. _Send for the doctor at once_, telling him what kind of poison you think the patient has taken in order that he may bring the right antidote and the right implements to give the quickest and most effective relief. 2. Give demulcent or mucilaginous drinks, as for example, milk, raw egg, one or two tablespoonfuls of salad oil, sweet oil, or barley water--which can be obtained most readily. 3. Give something to produce vomiting, provided the lips are not burned or stained as they are with an acid or alkali. A simple but effectual emetic can be made by mixing two teaspoonfuls of salt or a tablespoon of mustard in a glass of lukewarm water. This may be repeated if necessary. 4. If the patient seems drowsy, suspect opium and keep patient awake at all costs till the doctor arrives. 5. If delirium threatens, dash cold water on the patient's head and face to try to prevent the fit from coming on. 6. When the poison taken has been acid, the antidote should be an alkali, but different poisons require different antidotes, and it would be unwise to trust to one's memory as to the proper one to take in each case. It would be well to have a list of the more common poisons and their antidotes attached to the First Aid Kit, but do not trust to the memory. If a Girl Scout does not know, and if the patient's lips are _not_ stained or burned, give an emetic. Bandages Bandages form the most convenient way of keeping dressings on wounds and for making pressure when necessary. They are also used to correct some deformities, but you will not need to concern yourselves with the latter, as this is in the province of doctors.
